Qualification update

Our AS/A Level Mathematics provision is changing. New AS/A Level qualifications in Mathematics and Further Mathematics are being developed for first teaching from September 2017. To find out more visit our new qualification pages below.

You may also be interested in our Core Maths qualifications, designed to enable learners to strengthen the mathematical knowledge and skills which they have learnt at GCSE so that they can apply them to the problems which they will encounter in further study, life and employment.

This course is designed to provide many more students with access to the statistics they actually need, emphasising more on interpretation and modelling and being less mathematical in nature. This course is aimed at those who need more statistics than that contained in GCSE Mathematics, but do not want to take AS GCE or Advanced GCE Mathematics. No prior knowledge of the subject is required.
